Sommer- und Winterschulen, Online-Seminare

Seit 2012 bietet der Fachbereich Maschinenbau und Mechatronik zusammen mit dem Fachbereich Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik in der vorlesungsfreien Zeit im Bereich der mobilen autonomen Robotik eine internationale ROS Summer School an, die seitdem stetigen Zuspruch erfährt. Hier werden sowohl die Grundlagen, als auch weiterführende Themen im Bereich der Wahrnehmung, Lokalisierung und Navigation von mobilen Robotern erarbeitet. Weiterhin wird alles in englischer Sprache auf einem recht hohen technischen Niveau präsentiert.

ROS Summer School 2023

We are happy to inform you that FH Aachen UAS organizes a ROS Summer School in Aachen again. Starting the August 14^th and ending with a competition on August 25th, we are offering again a unique experience to learn ROS from scratch or deepen intermediate ROS knowledge with a lot of seminars, workshops and – of course – practical coding. The teaching material was updated to ROS2 in order to teach the newest ROS versions using the latest packages like e.g. Nav2 to guide our TurtleBots through the arena.

The Robot Operating System (ROS) summer school provides the right starter kit by using our robotic hardware and – of course – ROS software. We first start with some days of introductory courses, before we tackle the main task of mobile robotics, i.e. perception, localization, mapping and path planning. A highlight is a competition at the end of the second week: Summer School participants form different teams that have the task to design a typical mobile robotic application like indoor/outdoor exploration. They all use the same hardware, powered by their learnt ROS skills.

1. Topics covered:
   1. Introduction to Mobile Robotics
   2. ROS File System, ROS2 Concepts
   3. ROS2 Communication and Teleoperation
   4. Transformations, Robot Descriptions and Gazebo
   5. Hardware and Sensors
   6. Image Processing, Camera Calibration, April Tag Recognition
   7. Localization and Navigation
   8. SLAM and Path Planning (Nav2)
   9. Participation in Final Robot Competition with TurtleBot3

Additionally, we offer excursions during the week to explore Aachen and other nearby cities (e.g. Cologne, Maastricht, Bonn). Last but not least, we have a welcome BBQ and a farewell BBQ. We hope that again many ROS enthusiasts will participate in the ROS Summer School! See you in Aachen in August!

Our University has a center specialized in teaching French to foreigners: "le CILEC" (Centre International de Langue Et Civilisation / International Language and Civilization Center).

This center has obtained the Label Qualité FLE 3* which guarantees the quality of the reception, the teachers, the teaching, the management and the premises.

The CILEC is also a DELF DALF examination center and provides extensive French courses for the different Faculties of the University.

In addition, it offers intensive degree courses and short programs for international students.

Some of these courses may be interesting for your students, depending on their specialization and their study plan:

- DUEF: Semester (240 hours, 20 hours per week) or yearly (480 hours) training to prepare students for higher education in France, starting at level B2. Perfect for a linguistic stay in French or a preparation before entering French higher education. Validation of a DU (University Diploma) from level A2 to level C1.

For more informations: Click here

- The preparatory course for the Master FLE: Annual training of 600h (480h of French + 120h of initiation to the Didactics of French as a Foreign Language) in collaboration with the Department of FLE preparing students with a French degree and a B2 level to the C1 level and to a didactic initiation for an integration in Master FLE (limited number of places).
